The Walabot Difference

See it, don’t hear it! Other stud finders beep to alert you that an object has been found behind your walls without showing you whether the object is a stud to drill into or a pipe or wire to avoid? Now you can be safe with the Walabot DIY Plus. Only Walabot uses cutting-edge radar technology to allow your smartphone to show you actually what is behind your walls.

Walabot DIY Plus Wall Scanner

Walabot DIY Plus is paired with an Android phone (see specifications for details) to produce a visual image of what is inside drywall and lath & plaster up to 4 inches (10 cm) deep. Your Walabot detects metal studs, wood studs, wires, pipes and can even find pests by showing movement behind walls. Walabot can be used by contractors, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, and those in need of advanced wall imaging capabilities. The advanced technology is also perfect for ambitious DIYers and those who want real-time visual images of what is behind a wall. It can show users what is in their wall in multiple modes (Image mode and Expert mode).

Image Mode: A visual image of metal and wooden studs, pipes, and wires.

To use image mode, hold the Walabot against the wall, calibrate and scan the wall. Walabot’s Radio Frequency technology will analyze the objects and using artificial intelligence, translate the results into images which are identified as wooden studs, metal studs, pipes, and wires.

Expert Mode: See the raw radar signals from the Walabot sensor

To use expert mode, hold the Walabot against the wall, calibrate and move over the objects seen in Pan and Image mode. Expert mode gives a direct view into the unfiltered Radio Frequency images. This image can show location in more detail, curves in pipes and wires, the intersection between two objects, pest movement in real time and can be used to confirm objects found in Pan and Image mode. You can focus the expert mode by managing the intensity bar to better see the objects.

User questions & answers

Question:	does it detect floor studs under carpet and padding
Answer:	Scan goes 1.5 inches on deep scan most subfloors are 1 inch plus carpet and pad.....my guess is no. Im guessing you need to add floor outlet. In that case look for hvac vents in floor to show orientation of floor joices. Best thing ive done is drill 1/8 inch hole and put long steel wire down through insulation then go in crawl to see if in between floor joices. Ive seen some electricians just drill it where homeowner wants floor outlet and if they hit joice they just drilled it out and installed floorbox to hide mistake. Most stud finders dont do good on flooring
Question:	Does it work on metal studs
Answer:	Yes.
Question:	Our walls are 3/4 inch tongue and groove. Will this be able to detect through that
Answer:	The ProSensor 710+ should detect through wood tongue and groove walling material.
Question:	will it detect and show studs behind plaster and lath
Answer:	This unit can detect studs through lath and plaster, but it is not guaranteed as it is on drywall. Because lath and plaster usually is usually thicker and less consistent, it could lead to some inconsistent readings. The multiple sensors and deep sensing capabilities on this stud finder give it a better chance on lath and plaster, but it cannot be guaranteed.

Product description

The Pros Ensor 710 incorporates innovative stud sensing technology that instantly finds hidden studs. No sliding is required.

The Pros Ensor 710 is faster, less error prone and more accurate than other products on the market. It is the easy way to find studs. - advanced Multi-Sense technology senses the wall in multiple locations simultaneously and uses data from many readings to accurately determine the position of studs, operates effectively even through difficult architectural construction features (such as wall and ceiling textures, uneven plaster thickness, uneven paint, and difficult wallpaper, thick walls, etc. ) that can cause other detectors to fail. - bright LEDs lights illuminate to indicate the position of hidden objects – making it very easy to visualize the position of studs. - The only stud Finder available that does not require swipes across a wall to determine the location of studs, so that the readings are immediately accurate. - identifies the width of hidden objects so that you not only know the position of hidden objects, but so you also know the size of them. - can identify the position of multiple studs simultaneously. This is particularly useful for when there might be two or more studs in close proximity, which can often confuse conventional stud finders. - The Pros Ensor 710 has more sensor pad area than conventional stud finders and can sense more accurately through many real-world architectural features such as texturing, uneven plaster thickness, uneven paint, difficult wallpaper patterns, etc. - deep scanning is always active (up to 1. 5"). - The Pros Ensor 710 can be initialized at any position along a surface. - ergonomic soft grip.

User questions & answers

Question:	how well over thick second floor carpet
Answer:	the studpop doesn't respond to electricity at all. But since the studpop is looking for actual metal fasteners, when it does find one, it's a good bet that it's not in a wire.
Question:	Will this detect studs behind plaster and will it detect wires
Answer:	3/4" might be pushing it but that also seems awful thick for plaster over lath. IT always works for me on L & P
Question:	can this alert you to AC runs in t he wall
Answer:	The studpop was designed to work on any kind of wall. Sheetrock, plaster, lath and plaster, tile. That's the guarantee. If it doesn't appear to be working then it's either defective or you're not using it right. In either case contact the company and they'll figure it out. Being a new company with a very new product, they are very eager to please ; )
Question:	Can you find studs thru exterior stucco or wood siding? Thanks
Answer:	We don't have popcorn textured ceilings. I think ours are called slap brush, and it definitely does stay on them (I just tried it tonight to find out).

User questions & answers

Question:	this sounds good for accurately finding the stud.but does it find the edge of the stud....can someone tell me pls
Answer:	No. You're going to have to guesstimate. It only finds the fasteners used to hang the stud. What I do is find multiple fasteners with the magnet and draw a line. Whenever I hang something I put the screw on that line. Never failed me yet.
Question:	Does this come packaged as 2 individual finders, or 1 packaged containing both
Answer:	One Amazon package. Two individual packages inside the Amazon package. Each individual package has one magnet.
Question:	Have you had any problems with these accidentally finding wires or conduits in the walls
Answer:	Wires, no. Metal conduit, yes. However I use it in commercial spaces and it's obvious if it finds conduit. There's power or another receptacle type nearby
Question:	Will they work on metal stud with 5/8 level 5 sheetrock
Answer:	Yes they will. I use it for that purpose everyday

I thought I'd upgrade and had my son buy me the Fat Max for my birthday, big mistake. Google it and see all the other disappointed owners, this tool should be recalled.

From the Manufacturer

Black & Decker Stud Sensor takes the guesswork out of locating wood studs to hang pictures, install closet shelving, run chair railing and more. Whether you are a pro, do-it-yourselfer or decorator, this Stud Sensor will help you get the job done faster and easier. Stud Sensors detect studs through walls by sensing the differences in wall density between studs and the hollow spaces in your walls. This Stud Sensor has both audible and visual indicators that show when the edge of a stud is located. It is always best to hang shelves, photographs, artwork and other items securely into the studs in your walls. If these items are secured only in the drywall, nails and anchors can come loose under their own weight over time. With the diameter of a stud being less than 1-inch thick and studs being placed either every 16 inches or 24 inches, depending on the construction of your home, it isn't always easy to guesstimate a stud's location. Without a stud sensor you can only guess where studs may be hidden under your walls. This usually results in driving a nail or anchor between the studs in the empty spaces in your walls, leaving holes.
